Media: Ecstasy from the agony

France 24 is the first French international news channel to broadcast 24 hours a day. On its website, the presenter Folly Bah Thibault offers this insight into her role:

"I love the thrill of working on days like this. The big story this morning was the renewed clashes in the Democratic Republic of Congo ... As I was speaking to correspondent Arnaud Zatjman in Kinshasa, I could hear the gunfire in the background. I was so impressed by his cool ... Right here in the comfort of my Paris newsroom, I almost wet my pants for him."
